Jason MacLeod

Jason Macleod "has been involved in activism since the late 1980s, living that awkward tension between raising hell (nonviolently of course!) and trying to be a nice guy. Jason’s key learnings as an activist have grown out of nonviolent direct action, community development practice, accompanying those at the pointy end of global oppression, gaol, university and all points in between – mostly in the Free East Timor, global justice, Free West Papua, and peace and anti-militarist movements, both in Australia and overseas. Jason’s professional background is in community development, social work, training and popular education, conflict transformation, peace building, and strategic nonviolent action."

"Jason MacLeod is based at the Australian Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Queensland, where he lectures in nonviolent political change and researches West Papuan resistance movements."
